Good Question!
well Rick ... I applied my enhancement technique to some thermal images of
home heatloss .. a good test image I would submit. I applied my enhancement routine twice and found no major geometric distortion (occurring). Subtle variations where nicely accented (and preserved).
High brightness regions were "decomposed" into presumably their constituent colors - showing detail and presumably structure in otherwise non-useful regions.
So to answer the question: "are we seeing anything new?" I would answer with a qualified "yes! we are". Perhaps not eye-pokingly obviously so in the
elephant trunk image but definitely obviously-so in galactic nuclei imagery as well as tenuous nebulae shots. Gas fields extending way further out than one would deduce strictly from the unenhanced original.
I'm "around" .. just juggling a million hats .. I'll be sure to post more images -- perhaps a few "before and after" gifs < this should prove insightful as to the utility of my protocol. 10-4!
